262406 - Bookmarks toolbar overflow button does not appear if window is maximised on startup

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Jaagup Irve]

Using Mozilla 1.8 alpha 4 ( 2004092716 )

1. Drag lots of entries to the bookmarks toolbar
2. Maximize Mozilla
3. Restart Mozilla

Result: Bookmarks toolbar overflow button does not appear.
Expected result: It appears.

The button appears again when the window is resized, restored or minimized.

This is definetly a regression.

As seen in the dupe, bug is in Linux too, so changing OS from Win98 to ALL.
I´m accessing my bookmarks via 19 very short-named folders in the P.T., and it
seems one of them has fallen into the overflow area. If the minimize-maximize
workaround isn´t known, the overflow area gets unaccessible.

Strange, my build using make -f client.mk MOZ_CO_DATE=2004-09-16
doesn't have this bug... are these nightlies you're testing with?

http://ftp26moz.newaol.com/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2004-10-15-06-trunk/mozilla-i586-pc-msvc.zip

I rename the folder of the previous nightly, or delete it, and unzip the new
nightly into a fresh new folder the unzipper creates. I´m starting Mozilla via
shortcuts calling mozilla.exe -ProfileManager. Shortcuts don´t change, as I
always use the default folder name, but the folder itself is always new.

I´m seeing this bug now in the first window, having seven tabs open, but I don´t
see it in the other three windows. Just tested Help->about, a new window is
created showing the correct rendering. Going back to the first window, this bug
is seen. After resizing all is ok.

OK, so as far as I can tell, I'm getting a resize event targetted at the
<browser> element instead of the document.

So, anyone know why my resize event doesn't target a document?

1.8b1 has the problem too.
So I have given in: change the bookmarks toolbar so there is no overflow.
But that brings up a new problem: it means you create folders with the bookmarks
in it that used to overflow, problem is:

You can right click on a nonfolder bookmark item and get "open in..." etc. but
you get nothing from a right click in a dropdown list!

I just landed the fix to bug 20022 comment 130.

Firefox 2.0.0.11, Win XP Pro.

The overflow chevron sometimes does not appear, and the problem is not related to maximizing the window.  I start FFox in a Normal Window, and still the chevron is missing if a bookmark is only partly visible at the right end of the toolbar.  I'll put up a screenshot.

Resizing the window causes the bookmark to overflow and the chevron to appear.
